My first suggestion is: Don’t deploy the CES nodes manually – way to many 
package dependencies. Get those setup right and the installer does a good job.

If you go through and define your cluster nodes to the installer, you can do a 
GPFS upgrade that way. I’ve run into some issues, especially with clone OS 
versions of RedHat. (ie, CentOS) It doesn’t give you a whole lot of control 
over what it does – give it a ty and it may work well for you. But run it in a 
test cluster first or on a limited set of nodes.

Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] 4.2 installer

We have multiple clusters with thousands of nsd's surely there is an
upgrade path.  Are you all saying just continue to manually update nsd
servers and manage them as we did previously.  Is the installer not
needed if there are current setups.  Just deploy CES manually?
